ALLMäNNA IDROTTSKLUBBEN

'Allmänna Idrottsklubben', usually called 'AIK', located in Solna, just north of Stockholm, is one of the oldest and largest sports associations in Sweden. Founded in 1891 at Biblioteksgatan 8 in Stockholm by Isidor Behrens, the association has spawned numerous separate departments in different sports such as football, floorball, ice hockey, bandy, golf and handball. AIK is an abbreviation for "Allmänna Idrottsklubben", which in direct translation means "The general sports club". The name was choosen to indicate that the club was open for everyone and also that one of the main events was to be athletics, at that time called "allmän idrott" in Swedish.[1]
AIK is the only sports association that has won the Swedish championship in all the five big Swedish team-sports (football, ice hockey, bandy, handball and floorball).
